SCA Lingenfelter REAPER Silverado Upgrade Now Available At Some Chevy Dealers

The Raptor F-150 has been the single-biggest bit of brand lifting for the current Ford trucks line, so it is no surprise to see other companies following Ford’s lead — in the aftermarket, at least.

The latest move to recreate the cool and functional aspects of the Ford Raptor is the new Southern Comfort Automotive REAPER package for the Chevrolet Silverado. Developed with Lingenfelter’s assistance under the hood, the REAPER brings a new look up front, functional LED lighting in the foglamp area, new shocks with a 3-inch lift, and a few other optional tweaks.

The supertruck offroad segment is exploding with interest. Almost all Silverado Z71 buyers would love most of these tweaks.

To that end, SCA is now a partner with GM and will sell the packages from select Chevrolet and GMC dealers.

The prices are likely to be steep, and little here could not be done by a crafty DIY owner — but for those with more money than time to invest, the REAPER package is a tempting way to scare even Raptors and TRD Pro Tundra’s off the trail ahead.
